What are Pivot Points?

Pivot points are technical indicators calculated using the previous period's high, low, and close prices. They help traders identify potential support and resistance levels where price may reverse or consolidate.

Pivot Point Methods

Standard Pivot

The most common method. PP = (H + L + C) / 3. Simple average of high, low, close.

Fibonacci Pivot

Uses Fibonacci ratios (38.2%, 61.8%, 100%) to calculate support and resistance from the pivot.

Camarilla Pivot

Created by Nick Scott. Uses closer levels ideal for intraday range trading and breakouts.

Woodie Pivot

Weights the close price more heavily. PP = (H + L + 2×C) / 4. Good for trend traders.

DeMark Pivot

Uses the relationship between open and close to calculate levels. Created by Tom DeMark.

Standard Pivot Formulas

PP = (High + Low + Close) / 3 R1 = (2 × PP) - Low R2 = PP + (High - Low) R3 = High + 2 × (PP - Low) S1 = (2 × PP) - High S2 = PP - (High - Low) S3 = Low - 2 × (High - PP)

How to Trade Pivot Points

Bounce Strategy: Enter long at support levels (S1, S2, S3) with stop below. Enter short at resistance levels (R1, R2, R3) with stop above.

Breakout Strategy: If price breaks above R1, target R2. If price breaks below S1, target S2. Use PP as a bias indicator - above PP is bullish, below is bearish.

Range Trading: Trade between S1 and R1 when price consolidates around the pivot point.

Pivot points show the levels. Your journal shows the results.
